Foto Galatasaray - Maryam Şahinyan’s Photo Studio

Foam presents Foto Galatasaray - Maryam Şahinyan's Photo Studio,  a selection from  the complete professional archive of Maryam Şahinyan (Sivas, 1911 - Istanbul, 1996). Şahinyan worked as a photographer at her modest studio in Galatasaray, Beyoğlu in Istanbul uninterruptedly from 1935 until 1985. The archive is a unique inventory of the demographic transformations occurring on the socio-cultural map of Istanbul after the declaration of the Republic. It is also a chronological record of a female Istanbulite studio photographer's professional career.

Foto Galatasaray research was conducted at SALT by Tayfun Serttaş. An exhibition of the same name was realised at SALT Galata in Istanbul late 2011.

The exhibition Foto Galatasaray - Maryam Şahinyan's Photo Studio can be seen from 22 March - 12 May 2013 in Foam. Open daily 10am - 6pm, Thurs/Fri 10am - 9pm. Tickets: € 8,75.
